2019冠状病毒病大流行给人们的生活和工作方式带来了广泛而广泛的变化。虽然最近在家工作的一般主题引起了越来越多的关注，但很少有研究评估在家工作对潜在心理健康影响的脆弱性的性别差异。使用参与健康、种族和流行病（HEAP）研究的1585名工人的数据，这是2020年10月美国在COVID-19大流行期间进行的一项全国性调查，在1585名工人中使用加权逻辑回归研究了在家工作与心理困扰的关系，并按性别分层。研究发现，与不在家工作的员工相比，在家工作的员工出现心理困扰的几率更高（aOR和95% CI = 2.62[1.46, 4.70]），并对人口因素、社会经济地位和健康行为进行了调整。在性别分层分析中，在家工作和心理困扰之间的正相关在女性中是显著的（aOR和95% CI = 3.68[1.68, 8.09]），但在男性中没有。这些结果对在COVID-19大流行时代向在家工作过渡的女性工作者的心理健康有影响。
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated broad and extensive changes in the way people live and work. While the general subject of working from home has recently drawn increased attention, few studies have assessed gender differences in vulnerability to the potential mental health effects of working from home. Using data from 1,585 workers who participated in the Health, Ethnicity, and Pandemic (HEAP) study, a national survey conducted in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic in October 2020, associations of working from home with psychological distress were examined with weighted logistic regression among 1,585 workers and stratified by gender. It was found that workers who worked from home had higher odds of psychological distress (aOR and 95% CI = 2.62 [1.46, 4.70]) compared to workers who did not work from home, adjusting for demographic factors, socioeconomic status, and health behaviors. In gender-stratified analyses, this positive association between working from home and psychological distress was significant in women (aOR and 95% CI = 3.68 [1.68, 8.09]) but not in men. These results have implications for female workers’ mental health in the transition towards working from home in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
